Uff, Futbol's Over

I was at Yola's house today with JP. We went because Yola's family (with the exception of her wayward son, Alex!) are avid Chivas fans. Chivas played America (it's a mexican league soccer team, NOT a team from the USA) today to see who plays Pachuca in the final. All we needed to to was win by one measly point. And it was a home game, in Guadalajara. But it didn't happen. It was 0-0 for about 70 minutes, then America scored and we knew it was all over. Bummer.

And the Winner Is...

CHIVAS!!!!!!!

The Mexican League soccer final was yesterday, and my favorite teams, Guadalajara Chivas, were in it. And they WON! And it was against my LEAST favorite team - Toluca!

Here is my probable new favorite Chiva - Omar Bravo.

Omar and Bofo

Bofo with my as-of-right-now favorite Chiva - Oswaldo Sanchez

Unfortunately, it is very likely that Oswaldo will be moving to Tigres of Monterrey. Such is life.

THIS Close...

Well folks, it looks like this is as good as it gets:

Circumstances didn't allow that I go to the Chivas v. Gallos game tonight in QRO... Chivas (of Guadalajara, my FAVORITE soccer team, with my FAVORITE player OSWALDO SANCHEZ) were in QUERETARO tonite to play the QRO Gallos.

Here's the whole story... I found out like 2 months ago that Chivas were coming to QRO today. I got together with Rubén and Job from church (also avid Chivas fans) to see about all of us going. So the plan was in action. But, Saturday, they both said they didn't have money to go (we hadn't gotten tickets yet). I wanted to cry. I can't just go to the stadium by myself for a game... So that was that. Then, this morning while working at church, I mentioned to Alex (Rubén's brother) that Oswaldo Sanchez was only a few short kilometros away from church right then. He said, oh yeah, Rubén went to the hotel where the Chivas were staying last night to meet them. WHAT!?!?!?! And he didn't tell me!?!?!?! He ended up going to the game tonight too - some friend had pity on the poor guy and paid for his ticket. I watched the game on tv at a taco restaurant. :-( They tied. That's okay though, a tie is good because it makes for a better chance of Gallos staying in the big league so maybe Chivas will return here next year...
